CURE.
The workings on Gilmour's leader in this mine were visited to-day. On going down the pass to the intermediate level on the lode I found driving in progress, with colors of gold in the face, and on going up to the slopes above, 6 feet over the drive, found a first-rate show in the back, where the manager informed me that 120lbs of specimens and picked stone were obtained yesterday afternoon. At the point where the best of the gold was obtained, the lode is about 18 inches thick, and, though rather disintegrated, each little stringer carries specemen stone. One branch especially on. the hanging wall is very rich, strong gold being traceable- for" several feet. A few pounds of specimens and picked stone have been obtained from it this morning, but until more is stripped there will not' be a big breaking down. The next shot will give a good parcel of specimens. The drive >is being pushed ahead towards the junction, and should .the leader carry this rich gold along a fine patch should'be obtained. The manager telegraphed to his directors that breaking down would take place to-morrow.
